Default Acoustic glass.

Neighbour has just had their two ground floor original Victorian sash
windows replaced by a local two man business. And a very fine job they
look to have made of it. Next door to them still has the originals, and
they look just the same from the pavement. Including the curved glass tops
to the upper sash - that most others don't bother with. And straight glass
simply doesn't look as good with the curved brickwork.

On complementing the neighbour, she said they'd paid extra for acoustic
glass to the double glazing. Given the panel depth you can fit to a wood
frame is limited, does this mean thicker glass which would make the air
gap and therefore heat insulation poorer?

They also opted for sash weights rather than springs. Total cost some
£3750. Is that good value?
